"Whoever said you need Crutches?
You may never have a date with Those, but what about T?"
"What about him?"
"Still want to take him up on that Date? He proposed, you know?"
"It wouldn't be a date. Just an outing."
"That's what they all say."
"But I don't even know him, besides the fact that he 'purposefully' made me fall.
No. I don't need him to then pick me up. If that happens, it would look like he did it intentionally."
"But he didn't."
"Can't take the chance of him spinning it."
"Ruby, what can you take a chance at, then?"
*Click*
"I thought I already was.
See you tomorrow, hopefully."
"I'll be in town.
Where you headed?"
"I don't know, to be honest.
You'd be happy to join me.
I mean, 'I'd be happy to you join.
Ugggh. You know what I mean."
"I'd love to."
"Actually, "Ma'am, who we are going to see, asked only for you."
"Whelp.
Until next time."
"Until next time.
Can't wait.
I'll count the seconds, and keep you in my thoughts and prayers."
".....Please don't."
*Close*
"Wasn't that a little harsh, Ruby?"
"What?"
"He said something nice to you, and you totally ghosted him, right then and there."
"No I didn't.
He said he wanted to keep me in his thoughts and prayers.
I am a girl, not an image to be glazed over."
"I don't think that's what he meant.
He sounded genuine."
"Genuinely wanted to, or genuinely trustworthy?"
".....The Latter."
"Oh. I...
Sorry.
Guessed I ruined the moment, didn't I?"
"Don't worry. The moment may be pass, but the story is not. I am certain you will see him again.
Right now, another moment is about to present itself. Please don't screw this one up."
"Why? Where are you taking me? Who am I to meet?"
"Someone.
You know, you must be really someone special for her to have personally called me asking where you were.
The only people in are either invited, friends of the family, or personally know her."
"She did all of that for me?"
"You know who I am talking about?"
"Of course.
Who else, but Queen Rosa.
Can we go home first so I can change?"
"Why? You look beautiful."
"Boys.
...…A stick of deodorant is not going to cover up this beauty. I am dirty, sweaty, bleeding, and sticky all over.
I need to go home, change, dial my makeup, and make sure that my...."
"Wooo...woooo....wooo.
If Queen Rosa, herself personally invited you; then I don't think she is too worried about how you look."
"........But I am.
I may be the Last, but I am not the Least."
"I have no idea what you just said, but if you really think you need to dial up, then who am I to stand in your way?
Turning around right now. Hold on."
"Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
My knee. It's going to.....*Pop*
".............You good back there?"
"Towel loosened a bit, and my cut opened back up, but other than that I'm good."
"Sorry about that."
"I don't think your U turn was legal."
"You don't drive, so how do you know?"
"..........Are the flashing lights behind us a big enough symbol for you?"
"The flashing what?
.....Oh shoot.
….Hang on.
............Do you have any form of Id, by chance?"
"Id?"
"You know, a cad of some sort?"
"Ummmmm...No.
Should I?"
"Just don't say anything, and let me do the talking."
"Is this your car, Stain?"
"Excuse me?"
"Would your boss hate me if the police took your car?"
" I mean.....this car is part of a Fleet so I guess he...."
"Police.....step out of the vehicle."
"Time to go."
